DIEGO"Great work, Mr Smith."My business partners shook hands with me after our meeting came to an end."Let me see you off," I offered, leading the way out of the conference room.I escorted my business partners to the parking lot with my secretary, wishing them all a safe journey to their respected destination. Once they were gone, my secretary said, gaining my attention, "Sir, I didn't know that lady was your step sister.""Hmm. Now you know," I said, turning around, heading for the company."When she came that day, I thought she was among those nasty girls that always come to see you, " She kept talking, drawing nearer to me from behind.I could tell how close she was through the tone of her voice."What girls are you talking about?" I questioned, facing her with a glare.Her mouth came shunned at once, with her head lowering down.I know exactly what she's talking about, and I don't appreciate such nonsense."My apologies, Mr Smith, " She apologized."Keep your thoughts and rub

DIEGOAnother day to head to the office.My secretary just called, informing me about the arrival of a foreign client from Japan.Not wanting to delay, I made my way down the stairs, just to find Clara waiting for me.I thought she had gone already, since today was her last exam, but she's still around."Why aren't you on your way to school?" I asked, getting closer to her point where she stood.Clara shrugged and said, " I thought I should wait for you. Maybe if you could drop me off instead of a guard.""And you think I have time to take you to school and then to my office?" I lifted my brow at her."You do that sometimes, so yeah. You should have time. " She crossed her arms at me, acting like it's my responsibility to attend to her needs.Well, I don't blame her for being this way. I'm the one who made the suggestion to her mother, that I could watch over her till she's back from Italy with my father."No," I refused her, walking pass Clara."Come on! I need you to drop me off at

DIEGO"Love? Did I hear you say you love Carla?"I refused to believe the nonsense Pedro was telling me.He better not give me that shit."Look, I'm sorry for how I started out, okay? It's just that I was mad and upset with the way things are going," He said, leaning against my desk."I still love Carla, Diego. I still love that girl.""Don't tell me that nonsense, Pedro. You and I know very well that the word love mean nothing to you.""I still remember the day you introduced Carla to me as your girlfriend. You still went out with me that same day to have fun with some bitches at the bar. What about the day she called you to come see her Mom?""Diego.""You were standing next to me and you lied to her that you were busy with your father. Do you still want me to go on?""I'm dead serious, Diego. I really love, Carla," He defended."I don't believe you, Pedro. If you really loved her, then you wouldn't be messing with Jessica at the hotel the night Carla caught you," I revealed.Pedro

DIEGOEvening finally came. I stepped out of my room heading for the dining, only to find the room empty of Carla.I assumed she was still in her bedroom, getting ready to join me for dinner, but she didn't step out for fifteen minutes after my arrival."Have you called her?" I asked one of the maids that stood next to me.She looked towards the entrance, responding to my question, " I did call her, Sir. But she said she's not hungry.""Not hungry?""Yes sir," She answered.It was obvious that Carla was doing this just to ignore me, all because of what I said in the morning.With a sigh, I got off my seat and exited the dining room to meet her.I was about making my way up the stairs when I spotted Carla, near the living room, heading into another path."She was there all these time?" I carefully distanced myself from the stairs, going after Carla to speak to her."Yes, I made her upset with my words, but it doesn't mean she'd pass that anger to her meal," I groaned, following her fro

CARLA"I'll have the chicken specialty and chips," I placed my order while handing the menu back to the waiter at the outdoor eatery."Sure. I'll get that ready for you," He assured me before walking away.I sat comfortably on my stool, looking at other customers, who were attended to by other waiters, before taking my attention right behind to look for Diego.His car was gone, meaning he left already."I bet he has gone to the fancy eatery of his choice," I scoffed, rolling my eyes while facing forward."Does he think everything that doesn't appear fancy means low class? What an asshole."I had my arms crossed while waiting for my order. My eyes kept going to the same spot on the road, where Diego's car had parked earlier.I was beginning to feel lonely."All he had to do was say Yes and join me. Why do I care anyways? When he's done with his fancy meal, he better come and get me," I groaned, feeling upset with Diego.Just when I turned over to face my table, my entire body came shiv

DIEGOThe moment I held her by the arms, that same tingling vibe I always get around her, came streaming into my body.I felt my body shiver when she looked at me into the eyes. Those innocent blue eyes shimmered in the dark like diamond.My lips slowly came open as she asked, "Sorry for doing your brotherly duty?."I know it sounded weird but I wanted her to understand me."Em, well..." My hands came off her, reaching for the back of my neck."What I meant was that... I... Damn," I groaned at my inability to speak properly before Carla.This isn't like me. I know how I'd speak especially in front of her, but now it's totally different.I saw how she stared at me confusingly, and I didn't want her seeing me as a weirdo.That's not who I am.I cleared my throat and said with seriousness all over my face, " Look, since you're going to be my sister, I feel it's best if I take my time and carry out my role as your brother, so you won't end up regretting later on."I managed to drop my gaz

DIEGOI recognize Pedro's number anywhere. This is actually his second line which he rarely uses.It was clear that Carla doesn't have it."She must have blocked the other line so he can't reach her. Now he's using this to contact her," I viewed, staring at his number as it kept calling Carla's phone.The sight of this took my mind to our encounter at my office.The words he brought out from his mouth, claiming he still loves Carla, after everything he did to her.But that word Love coming from Pedro..."I want to forget about him," Carla's hurtful tone came into me, reminding me of the day she was in pain because of that asshole."He's stupid if he thinks I'll allow him back into her life after what he has done," I groaned.Hearing it ring the second time, I immediately declined the call and blocked Pedro's number from reaching Carla again."I've made a promise to keep you away from Carla, and I'll stick to that," I vowed, heading to my room.The next morning, I was standing next to

DIEGO"What? But why? " Carla questioned me.From her face expression, I could tell she didn't look pleased with my decision.But I don't want her knowing the reason behind it. I want her to be safe with me."Just tell me you're joking, Diego. I don't miss school activities like that. It's just not me.""I can understand you, Carla. But I've made my decision. You won't be going to school.""Why? " She asked once again, making an attempt to pull her hands out of my hold, but I didn't allow her."If I tell her about Pedro, she might get uncomfortable and still prove stubborn with me. I'll think of something," I viewed, thinking of what to tell Carla, and just in the nick of time, the heavens blessed me with an idea."So? " Carla asked, lifting her brow at me.With a curv to the lips, I said while loosing my grip on her gently, "I made that decision because we have a lot of work to attend to. And it's something I can't do by myself, since I won't be the only one having a new family membe

CARLAThe news of my wedding with Diego went wild like forest fire.Many saw the update on the net, going crazy over the news.They couldn't believe it.#NEWLY WEDHEADLINE: UNPLANNED WEDDING.That was the trending topic all over the net and the news.When I checked, I saw a video of mine and Diego's wedding. Someone had uploaded it for everyone to see.The comments were my favorite. What I saw left me smiling with joy."O.M.G! Their parents gave blessed them?""What?! I thought they were brother and sister?""I knew something was fishy between the two of them. Their sibling bond didn't look convincing to me.""Awwn! My billionaire crush is married. But she's so beautiful. I want to cry."I laughed when I read the comments. It really made my day.I thought I would come across negative response, but I didn't see any.Even if I do see one, I know the vampire who's responsible."Are you ready?" I heard Diego's voice from behind.I turned around and found the love of my life, my hubby, st

CARLA"What? How did she know?"I stared at Jessica in horror, as she revealed to everyone my secret relationship with Diego.This left my heart pounding with fear and my whole body heating up with speed.How did she get this information?I was troubled.Worst, I saw how everyone began staring at me like I was someone made out of filth. Even my school mates, and the cheer leading team that came, stared at me in shock.I felt terrible as my feet drew backwards from Pedro's side."This can't be happening," I panicked within, directing my gaze at Jessica. She had a cunning smile on as she went on talking, exposing my affairs with Diego."This slut always sleep with him just to get whatever she wants. So repulsive!" She scoffed out."This would explain how he always stands by her at school, even when she doesn't deserve it! " Jessica added, showing off her jealousy.The witch! She didn't leave the school without leaving me behind. She still hd something up her sleeves to get back at me f

DIEGOIt's just as I suspected. Pedro is the one who's keeping Carla away from me. But I couldn't tell what he was using to turn her mind away from me.In the remaining few days to the wedding, I tried to get hold of Carla, but everything was to no avail.Her lines were suddenly blocked. When I came around to her place to know what happened, she was absent. "She misplaced her lines. Pedro had to get her a new one. Isn't he sweet?" Mrs Parker had shared when I came over the third time to meet her.I was so mad that I had to go over to Pedro's place to find him. But I met his father instead. The old man noticed the rage all over me and requested to know what was happening."You boys no longer talk to each other again. Is there something wrong?" He had asked. All I could do was tell him that all was well."I just wanted to talk to him. That's all," I lied, leaving his home.But that didn't stop me from looking for Pedro and Carla."Where did you take her to?!" I groaned, feeling wor

DIEGOI couldn't accept this. What is happening? While Dad and Mrs Parker were celebrating with Pedro, I pulled Carla away without their knowledge, taking her right outside."Diego, what's your problem?" She uttered, struggling to pull her hand out of my grip. But I didn't allow it. Once I knew we where far from the house and away from anyone's interference, I turned Carla over, sparking out, " What the hell, Carla?! Engaged with Pedro?! Is this some kind of joke?!""No!" She responded, finally dragging her hand from mine. "It's not a joke. I'm engaged to Pedro. We're going to get married after our school and...""STOP IT!" I roared, leaving Carla shivering before me at the tone of my voice. My hands came wiping my face in frustration, wondering where or how to proceed with this."No, this can't be happening. You can't be with Pedro. You belong to me!" I said, grabbing her by the arm. Carla gave a groan, making an attempt to break free. But my anger was way stronger than her str

DIEGODesperate to get to the bottom of this issue, I drove down to Carla's home at once.On arrival, I noticed Mrs Parker leaving the house, before she spotted me driving into her premises.When I got out of the car, feeling my heart pumping... "Diego, it's so nice to see you my son, " Mrs Parker greeted, drawing closer to me.I gave a quick smile with my eyes falling on the house, trying to spot Carla."Did your father send you over to get me?" She asked me, getting all excited.From her words, I could tell she was heading out to meet Dad.Still having the smiles on, I said, " Not really. I just came over to see Carla. Is she in?""Not yet. She's not back from school, but she's on her way, " She said, looking at the house. I didn't know what to do, if I should head over to her school or wait here instead.My mind was just troubled. "Is it important?" Mrs Parker asked, showing concern towards me.Not wanting her to feel there's a problem, I smirked at her and made a request, "Can

DIEGOI finally have Carla to myself.She loves me just as much as I love her.I never thought she'd give in one day and accept my love for her.I just feel so... So..."Diego, can you hear me?" I heard, snapping out of my thoughts. I lifted my gaze to see my father looking at me with confusion all over his face."Are you okay, son?" He asked.I was at his office, sitting right opposite my old man. We were making preparation for the wedding which is closer than ever."Yeah, I'm okay.""Are you sure? I've been calling out to you but you didn't answer back. You're sure you're okay? " He asked, sitting upright. I hummed, nodding along, with my eyes dropping down at the list before me. "I am, Father," I claimed. But trust me, I wasn't.I stared at the guest list for the wedding, thinking about Carla and I. I've finally found love after so long of being by myself, and the only way I can make this relationship between Carla and I work out fine, lies within our parents. But how would th

CARLAMy eyes grew large at what I was gazing at. These were more pictures of Pedro having sex, but not with Jessica. He's having sex with other ladies!I lifted each pictures to have a good look at the faces of the girls in them. I immediately recognized three of them. They are students from this college."Isn't this that girl?" I pointed at one, recognizing the lady riding Pedro in the cowgirl style. She's the one I saw at the cafeteria with Pedro the other time.Pedro has been sleeping with her too?"Now is that enough to show you the kind of person your Pedro truly is?" Jessica asked in a mocking tone.I lifted my eyes at her, as she gave out a chuckle, crossing her legs at me with pride."That's why I called you a fool for taking him back after what he did to you in the past. You just blindly accepted him after a few fake love confession," She mocked, insulting my decision to be with Pedro after what he did to me."Can you see his true colors? He doesn't love you but loves ass

CARLAI joined the guys at the gym to have a crazy moment. The party was a blast, and I was even more amused with the fact that the rector, and even the Chancellor himself who came back from a long trip, didn't come to stop us from making such noises. You could say maybe they are in agreement with this loud and crazy party. In other words, they gave us the go ahead to celebrate.Haha!"Hey Carla," One of the girls interrupted me from my dance.She is among the girls who used to be Jessica's friend and teammate then. "What's up?" I asked, still swaying my body to the rhythm.She held me by the hand and said, after drawing closer to my point, "I know I shouldn't be poking my nose in this matter, but..."She hovered her gaze left and right, like one who doesn't want to be heard or seen with me.It felt... Suspicious.When she faced me, she said, " I know it's not my business, but are you and Pedro having a problem?"When she asked I felt a sudden skip in my heart over her question.A

CARLAThe remaining days went beautifully well.Diego made those short moments so romantic between us, that I almost wished those days wouldn't end. But it had to come to an end eventually. When it did, Mom, on Sunday evening, came over with Mr Smith to get me. But before I followed her to our home, Mom told Diego and I that her wedding dress was set and she would like us to follow them to the designer's store in two days to get it.She showed us the pictures of the dress and it left my heart aching with sadness."Just a week plus and we'll be a big family," Mr Smith said, caressing Mom in his hold.When I saw how they were getting all lovey dovey and cozy, I directed my eyes at Diego. He was just smiling at them both, congratulating them.And I had to join him in doing the same, feeling troubled about the relationship between the both of us.When I went in to get my things and leave, Diego and I met up in my room, staring at each other lost.There was no need to voice out my worri
